I'm planning to do 4 human/snake matched poses (with the flute and basket props). They support Dusk/Dawn, L'homme/La Femme, G8M/G8F and G9M/G9F. They'll be (Male poses)... snake charmer and Hopi Rattlesnake dance and (Female poses) a coral snake curled/wrap around the neck or the arm (13th Warrior Movie). I'll probably also do the boa wrapped around a female figure similar to the famous Nastassja Kinski photo.

Here's a render I'll probably use for the main promo on the pose set done in Iray....

Anything with "Nastassja Kinski" in it deserves my attention! :)

Since my snakes appear to have some popularity at Rendo, I've decided to do a Volume 2 and here's what I've been selected:
  • Red-bellied Black Snake (venomous, Australia)
  • Broad-banded Copperhead (venomous, central USA)
  • Red-milk (King) Snake (non-venomous, eastern North America)
  • Southern Pacific Rattlesnake (venomous, southern California and Baja-- the one that bit me)
  • Banded Pit Viper (venomous, SE Asia)
  • Eyelash Viper (venomous, Central and northern South America)
  • Red-tailed Boa (Constrictor) (non-venomous, South America)
  • Common Pipe Snake (non-venomous, SE Asia)

Another endangered butterfly, the Macedonian Grayling...

plus the first render from my second volume of snakes-- in this image, the Eyelash pit viper (the pose and branch will be included in the set).

This species is endemic to Columbia in South America. It has adapted to a nearly completely arboreal lifestyle, possessing a strong, prehensile tail with which it secures itself around tree limbs, often coiled into a tight bundle during the day, as the species is primarily nocturnal. After dark, the eyelash viper awakens and awaits the presence of small, tree-dwelling animals that may cross its path such as rodents, bats, tree frogs, birds and lizards (anoles, geckos, and juvenile iguanas).

The eyelash viper is not known to be an aggressive snake towards humans, and is likely to be avoidant of creatures larger than itself, but will not hesitate to strike if repeatedly harassed. Snakebites inflicted on humans are characterized by pain, edema, and ecchymosis at the site of the bite, rarely with blisters, local necrosis, or defibrination. In some cases, systemic alterations such as coagulopathy and acute renal failure have been reported.
